Dear Sir,
Can you give me the war record of Samuel Goodrich , a Revolutionary Soldier, who received a pension, and died near Gully & Preble, of Cortland and Onondaga Cos. I think he enlisted from Dutchess Co. in 6 th Reg. Is there any record which would tell his father's name. I wish to know when he enlisted how long served and whatever else of his life which is on record.
I also wish to know if you have any record of Col. Tiffany whose daughter Mary married Walter Hunt.
Also if you have any record of George M'Cumber (or Maycumber ), the name being spelled both ways.
Very truly, / Mrs. E. A. Wilber
